Our Planeswalkers really need a better adjustor. So they decided to make a support group to talk about ways they somehow have survived a rash of stupid decisions.
A horde of the undead, a giant dragon that likes sushi, two mechanical brothers with daddy issues… and a crazy ex-girlfriend who rage quits after not drawing her combo.
It would be really rad if we learned how to survive the mass extinction event that could be coming to our plane any day now (Freaking Eldrazi…) We couldn’t write a survival guide in time because of the giant rift…so this is all you’re going to get…

Join the guys for this week's show as they look at the story behind the game and explore some MTG lore.

Planeswalking can be treacherous without the right navigation. Remember that one guy featured on Curse of Opulence? Well if you don’t know what I am talking about read the flavor text…. But anyways one of the most useful tools we have to find new weapons is in the Scryfall website. Our friend Fuji has a very cool way to shortcut searches in the engine that not many people are probably aware of…. Join us for this week's Experiment on how to get the most out of Scryfall!

We are returning to Ravnica where politics reigns supreme. The Ten Guilds are vying for control of the plane…and other syndicates around the multiverse are watching. What can we learn from these political machinations and bring to our game? Pete and Bruce discuss some Garbage or Great and then turn their attention to the plight of North America......politics...in our COMMANDER GAMES! Pete, demonstrating civil cooperation as the Guilds once did, goes into a few ways to help improve your political game while Bruce does his best interpretation of an ostrich. Come and check it all out on this week's show!
